I would love to attend that some day!!! I love the excitement and enthusiasm that you convey to us!!!! I can't wait to taste my own DF within the next year or two. And I just got two DARK STAR cuttings :) Yay!!!!!
Richard. I couldn’t stop laughing at your response and joy when sampling the dragon fruit. You’re like a kid in a candy store. I love watching your videos and most importantly have been learning lots. Thank you for sharing.
This looks like so much fun! I hope they resume these festivals after pandemic time, I would have so much fun attending this! Super worth the cost for how much you learn (and get to try more varieties)! Thanks for creating helpful videos for us about all things dragonfruit!
If you're a part of my Dragon Fruit group in Facebook. I normally announce it in there. But will make a video in the future to let all my viewers know!
It's still small and not a lot of people know that this exists yet. But, once they have it again I will make sure to do a video announcement so that all of you that are interested can attend! Thanks for always watching!
@@GraftingDragonFruit Is this located in California? I don't live near there at all, but I wanna go to this festival this year, and I need to know where it is located. Maybe I can make the trip and see you there.
wow wow wow! all I can say hoping my Dragon fruits plants will be as many like those but have a few pots is enough am still new in this kind of plant. I like it those different color I got only that white, I bought at Walmart and few seed I separated to start with. I wish i have that red one,
Great to see you out and about. It's nice that you are able to update us with that tour. My goodness, dragon fruit on that scale is really amazing. Did it seem like dragon heaven.... lol. But seriously, you could probably teach them a thing or two. That was a wonderful presentation, thanks for giving us an insight into that festival. Take care 😁😁😁
Very nice video and festival ,I would like to ask you ,if I plant my dragon fruits on the ground and not in a pot would it make a lot of deference in fruiting ? Thank you
outside of new varieties, did you learn anything new about keeping dragon fruit you did not know before or take away something you will now do with your plants? and would you go back again next year?
I learn something new every year from the Dragon Fruit festival. This is my second year going to this event. I will continue to go back every year. It's a fun and amazing event to be at with all the other dragon fruit enthusiast!
WOW !!! this is amazing ... I didn’t know you could hybridize DF through grafting ... I think I have an idea how it’s done but not quit sure ... Can you explain the difference between this grafting method and cross pollination ??? So wish I was there !!! Kudos to the amazing video ... Thanks 4 sharing ... #GodBless
This is amazing. I didn’t know you could hybridize DF through grafting. I think I have an idea how it’s done but not quit sure. Can you explain the difference between this grafting method and cross pollination? So wish I was there!!
Hi Lemon! I'm doing more research on this method and will have a better explanation when I accomplish this type of grafting. It's still new to me and I too also have a lot of questions! You should come next year!!
Oh man. I'm from San Diego and I didn't know about that. I just built my trellis of my dragon fruit and following your video how to build and to take care the dragon fruits. Is that in Escondido near Fallbrook?
Hi Elmer, that's amazing I'm glad my video was helpful in assisting you in creating the trellis! Yes, this was in Escondido near Fallbrook. You should attend next year!
Yeah... next time I'll be there man. I heard there is a purple dragon fruit and I like to plant that kind. Thanks for your video. I'm trying to concentrate about grafting... thanks a lot man.
So many awesome varieties! My brother has a dragonfruit Farm in Brazil, and I’m growing a red skin/red flesh variety in South GA, planning on clearing up a couple acres to dedicate to dragon fruit. Do you know the contact for Wallace Ranch? I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find any info on them... I’d like to buy a few different varieties for our non profit farm.
Hey Richard, I can hear what you said but I can taste it, it makes me drooool, I watch many of your videos and now I have to go to supermarket to see if I can find any there... then I can taste it..I have seen it before but never eat it don't know what it is... until I heard that this is dragon fruit !! I am from the deep south I think it will be harder to grow it, what do you think at 40 Lat. South and shorter daylight than 30 Lat. South, I might have to propagate from seeds first then graft it onto cactus type plants....
What happened to it this year? You know, with the pandemic and all. It looks like an awesome festival, and I want to see if I can go next year. (Or anytime in the future, considering that I don't live near where it happens)
Richard this is my 2nd year of growning my dragon fruit and it larg but i didnt see not one fruit how do you get them to start a flower and what time should i see one im in Monterey ca
Hi! If I grow 4 different type of dragon fruit in one container, will 4 different type fruit, or will it cross breed to one type of fruit. Sorry I sound a bit oblivious.
Julio in the video was able to get it by grafting 2 large cuttings together that was split in half. I have a lot of research to do about this type of method.
Ola gosto dos seu videos entendo muito pouco ingles. moro no Sul do Brasil em Porto Alegre. Voce conhece muito produtores de pitaya amarilha gostaria de comprar sementes. Voce conseguiria/ aguardo noticias. obrigado Richard esse festival e muito legal.
As an individual can you enter or attend the dragon fruit festival? When is it usually held? I just started to grow the plant, had only one fruit so far. Guess the pot is not large enough (5 gallon)
Hi ilntanoh, yes anyone can attend the dragon fruit festival. From dragon fruit hobbyist, enthusiast or commercial growing can attend. They have it every year in the months of August-September. The admission is about $50-$60. Ill make a video to mentions bout it once they have it again for anyone that wants to attend. They have it at San Diego and Irvine county in California.
Open to the public, they normally have the festival once a year - two locations on in Irvine/San Marcos San Diego or the other in Santa Paula. Comes with fruit samples and cuttings sometimes. That's where I got Valdivia Roja, George, Physical Graffiti, Condor and Mexicana. Been a while since I attended one so there may be much new information in regards to dragon fruit - pests, disease, virus, production costs, yield potential, etc......very fun to attend, I recommend it.
Hi Richard. I am Khokan Sikdar from India. how i will get dragon fruits plants cutting from you(only four cutting). Cane you send me four variety of dragon fruits plants cutting, then i shal be thanks to you. I will bear the cost.
Too bad that second farm supports a horrible person. What a bummer. I wonder what kind of people they have working the farm? Hmmmm... Otherwise, great video!

You should have told us earlier. I never knew we had this show, but it’s too late now. Will go next year for sure.
If you're a part of my Dragon Fruit group in Facebook. I normally announce it in there. But will make a video in the future to let all my viewers know!

Thank you Emad!
Cool! Thank you!
wow yummy...
What did Julio call his new variety of Dragon Fruit?
What happened to it this year? You know, with the pandemic and all. It looks like an awesome festival, and I want to see if I can go next year. (Or anytime in the future, considering that I don't live near where it happens)
Aaaaaaaand, does the dark star dragon fruit variety need to be cross pollinated? It sounds like it would be really good to have in my garden.
Good 👍🥰
Sadly, i am from Fallbrook and did not know about the festival
It's okay! They will have it again next year and you can attend. I'll make a video announcement so that way you wont miss it again!
awesome
Thank you!
Did you get the scoop on the concrete supports? Like how they make them, is there rebar etc?
👍👏
Ótimos vídeos 👊😎
Richard this is my 2nd year of growning my dragon fruit and it larg but i didnt see not one fruit how do you get them to start a flower and what time should i see one im in Monterey ca
seeing that buffet breakfast is a covid cringefest. haha can't do that now.
Grafted variety or propagate from cuttings which is best method to get fruits faster
Grafting seedlings would make them fruit faster. If you have mature cuttings they will fruit faster in a short amount of time.
im only 15 but i fr want to be like you one day
That is awesome man! I hope you do and fall in love with growing Dragon fruits just like me!
Hi! If I grow 4 different type of dragon fruit in one container, will 4 different type fruit, or will it cross breed to one type of fruit. Sorry I sound a bit oblivious.
How can we recognize different dragon fruit from its plant or buds??

So you get different varieties by grafting or cross pollinating?
Julio in the video was able to get it by grafting 2 large cuttings together that was split in half. I have a lot of research to do about this type of method.
@@GraftingDragonFruit but usually its through cross pollination that you get different varieties right?
Dude i am interested in going to that pitahaya festival. Please send me the info
